Product Review: Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner

I was recently given the opportunity by Healthy Child, Healthy World to review Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner.  We have hardwood floors in every room of our home, so this was the trial for me.

Little E & her beloved milk cup

In addition to hardwood we also have a very sweet, very rambunctious toddler who loves her milk cup, even though it tends to drip.  She also likes to try & help Mama by smearing the milk drips all over the floor & to "clean up".  These often go unnoticed until they are dried disgusting milk spots.  Not so fun for Mama.

BEFORE:  E's lovely milk splatters

Mopping the whole house has become rather impossible to do with little feet continually pitter-pattering, so spot cleaning is uber important.  I'm also always looking for environmentally friendly products, so Boma's spray bottle hardwood cleaner seemed like a great fit.  Their floor cleaner comes in a No. 2, easily recyclable spray bottle (Yay!!), & is hypoallergenic, free of scents, non-toxic & biodegradable. 

I admit when I read that it was scent free I sort of took it with proverbial eco-friendly product grain of salt.  Many, many natural products claim to be scent free & end up choking your lungs & burning your retinas until you want to scream,'Uncle!'
Truth be told I believed this wouldn't be any different. 

AFTER:  Milk free & filled with E's helpful toys

Chock full of skepticism I sprayed E's milk spots & waited for the hideous 'natural' scent.  I waited...and waited.  NOTHING.  It was unbelievable.  I literally smashed my face to the ground & couldn't smell anything.  a-MAY-zing!  BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE...it cleans!!!  One swipe of my rag over the milk spots & bam! clean floors!!  I quickly went around searching out any hidden milk spots or other schmootz & it worked.  Every time!  I didn't need to use a lot of product or elbow grease; just the ticket for a lazy house keeper like myself.

I was so in love that I used it on a  milk ring that E left on our book shelf.  I know that it's a hardwood floor cleaner, but I figured why not give it a thorough try?

Sure enough, the dried milk came clean.  I couldn't have been more pleased. 


After trying Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner I am thoroughly convinced this is the cleaner for me.  Here's my expereince in a nutshell:

•  It doesn't smell. 
• It actually CLEANS wood floors
• It's fast & easy to use
• I don't have to worry when using it around my family
• The bottle can easily be recycled.

 It was a totally positive cleaning experience, which is a hard thing to get this lazy homemaker to say.  Seriously.   If you're in the market for an excellent hardwood floor cleaner give Bona a try.
